Blood splatters also look less geyser-like… but it’s still too much for my taste. Too bad it wasn’t meant to add some difficulty in one such battle, there are “treadmills” that don’t affect your moving at all, and flying on lava doesn’t affect your health like the poison fields did in the previous game. Many of the “bonus” battles (necessary to obtain the Vandal Heart sword) have very big moving objects that show the technical prowess of the designers. On the battlefield (where most of the action happens), graphics also look nicer. Aging was also done nicely for the few characters you see between the Intro and Chapter One you can still recognize them. Also, everyone you talk to has a (static) portrait, and those are drawn nicely – some details like blood can show up at times, improving the image. Their movements still look a little clumsy (especially on stairs), but at least they can jump when they have to. For starters, characters are less pixelated and are drawn better. Also, while the cutscenes don’t have the same psychedelic backgrounds, they still fill less than half the screen.īut compared to VH 1, VH 2 does show some nice improvements.
It’s inexcusable for an RPG produced in 1999. Literally: the only “movies” I could find were the loading screens, which looked like the reels of a mute movie. While VH I innovated by introducing brief CGIs, none of that is present in VH 2. But even after playing the game through, I still think that it’s a bad game I wanted to give Vandal Hearts II the same chance, since I never completed the game. When I played Vandal Hearts I again on Vizzed, I realized that, for its time, the game was a gem. Vandal Hearts II Review by: janus - 5/10 Worse than I Remember
